The redington is one that I favour and whilst I try to remain unbiased - I use this rod 90% of the time - I own a #7 cps and two #9's cpx's
I have put hundreds of personal hard fishing hours on both rod types - here in Ireland, Florida and just recently in the bahamas - I overlined the seven by one on a Bruce Chard bonefish line in the bahamas and caught and landed bones to 8 pounds, jacks, barracudas, etc - I fished hard for eight days with both rods and a #10 and was never let down -
From a casting point of view the CPX is not as fast as the SS it is a more subtle rod than the Ticrx - it does throw tight loops on demand with great line speed but i have used it for throwing wet orange towels at Pike in Monaghan with a wider loop too
If you can get a cast of one before you try - are you in Cork?
